BRUSSELS/FRANKFURT/PARIS (dpa-AFX) - Eurozone industrial production fell for the second straight month in March, figures from Eurostat showed on Tuesday.
Industrial production declined 0.3 percent month-on-month in March, following a 0.1 percent fall in February and in line with economists' expectation.
The latest decline was driven by 1.0 percent fall in non-durable consumer goods and a 0.3 percent decline in energy production.
Output of durable consumer goods, capital goods and intermediate goods rose by 0.7 percent, 0.4 percent and 0.1 percent, respectively in March.
On a year-on-year basis, industrial production decreased 0.6 percent after remaining flat in the previous month. Economists had forecast a 0.8 percent fall.
